# JIATF-401 Awards DroneShield Counter-UAS IDIQ

JIATF-401 awarded DroneShield a three-year IDIQ contract under its Domestic Shield initiative to support counter-uncrewed aircraft system (counter-UAS) capabilities. The vehicle has a ceiling of up to USD 500 million, but that amount is not guaranteed revenue: the signals identify no guaranteed minimum or call-offs, and actual work depends on individual delivery orders. No open solicitation or procurement contact is identified.

- Procurement teams and contractors should distinguish the ceiling from committed funding and use delivery-order announcements to assess the scope and timing of potential work.
- Suppliers and prospective teaming partners can evaluate opportunities supporting DroneShield’s counter-UAS deliveries, while recognizing that the signals do not identify specific subcontracting requirements.
